Chapter 3- Granting Superpower

The following morning, he summoned Nancy to his room. At the time of her arrival, she politely said, "Yes, Your Majesty, what do you need from me?"

Anthony studied her and said, "Nancy, you've always been loyal to me, and now I can see how loyal you really are. You read it, do you want to change? Are you ready to get stronger? Do you desire power? But instead of just being a nanny, do you want to make something more?"

A look of stunned surprise crossed Nancy's face, but joy filled her heart. She answered resolutely, "As long as it is Your Majesty's will, I will do it."

Anthony said to Nancy, "I am going to grant you supernatural power."

Nancy was completely shocked upon hearing this. Gaining superpowers was extremely rare—only one in a million had the chance to awaken such abilities. How could His Highness give her power?

Her unwavering loyalty left no room for doubt. She chose to trust him completely. With a determined expression, she said, "As you wish, Your Highness. What do you want me to do?"

The prince looked at her and instructed, "Just sit down, close your eyes, and don't resist."

Nancy obediently closed her eyes, choosing to follow the prince's instructions without hesitation.

As she did, Prince Anthony shut his eyes and projected his soul toward Nancy's. The moment his soul connected with hers, a small seed began to bloom within Nancy's essence—a seed infused with Anthony's own soul.

This was no ordinary seed; it was a seed of supernatural power, a gift bestowed upon her through Anthony's awakened abilities.

Once the process was complete, Anthony slowly opened his eyes, his expression calm yet resolute.

"Anthony told Nancy to open her eyes."

Slowly, she did so, taking a moment to familiarize herself with her body. As she focused, she noticed something unusual—something new. Her senses felt sharper, and then she realized it.

She could hear far more clearly than before. Sounds that had once been distant or muffled were now crisp and distinct. Every whisper, every subtle movement in the room reached her ears effortlessly.

Anthony looked at her and asked, "Do you have any idea what kind of superpower you have awakened?"

Nancy, still processing the change, replied, "I can hear extremely well. It feels like my hearing has been enhanced, almost as if sound itself is part of my power."

"Good, Nancy. I believe the power you've awakened is enhanced hearing," Anthony said. "Now, you must work on developing it gradually. Train yourself, explore its limits, and find new ways to apply it in different situations. Use your mind to discover other abilities that stem from this power. Understood?"

Nancy nodded. "Yes, Your Highness, I will do my best."

"Good. Now go and tell Rohan to meet me immediately," Anthony instructed.

Nancy understood his intentions—he wanted to grant Rohan supernatural power as well. Without hesitation, she bowed and said, "Understood, Your Majesty. I will call him at once."

After about 15 to 20 minutes, Rohan entered the room. He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, is there anything I can do for you?"

Anthony shook his head. "No, Rohan. Just come and sit with me."

Hearing this, Rohan took a seat in front of Anthony and remained silent, waiting for him to speak.

After a brief pause, Anthony looked at him seriously and asked, "Rohan, if I were to give you a superpower, would you accept it?"

Rohan's eyes widened slightly in surprise. Like Nancy, he knew that awakening a superpower was incredibly rare—only one in a million people ever had the chance. The idea that Anthony could bestow such an ability seemed almost impossible.

Still, despite his doubts, Rohan lowered his head slightly in respect and said, "If it is truly possible, I would be honored, Your Majesty."

A small smile appeared on Anthony's face. "Good."

Without wasting any more time, he began the same process he had used on Nancy. Closing his eyes, Anthony projected his soul toward Rohan's, embedding within it the seed of supernatural power.

Minutes passed in silence. Then, slowly, Rohan opened his eyes. Anthony immediately noticed a subtle change in him—something about his presence felt different, stronger.

"Rohan," Anthony said, "check what kind of power you have awakened."

Rohan closed his eyes for a moment, concentrating on the new sensation within him. He remained still for two or three minutes, his expression focused. Then, suddenly, his eyes snapped open.

Without a word, he raised his hand toward a metal rod resting in the corner of the room. To Anthony's amazement, the rod lifted off the ground and floated toward Rohan as if pulled by an invisible force.

Rohan's breath hitched as he grasped the metal in his hand, his voice filled with wonder. "Your Majesty… I think I can control metals, like iron."

Anthony's lips curled into a satisfied smile. This was a rare and powerful ability—one that could prove invaluable. And the fact that it had been given to one of his most loyal followers made it even better.

Anthony understood that when the seed of supernatural power took root in someone's soul, it did more than just grant them abilities—it bound them to him with unwavering loyalty. Betrayal would no longer be possible. Still, knowing that one of his most trusted people had gained such a rare and powerful gift filled him with satisfaction.

He turned to Rohan and said, "Rohan, now that you have this power, you must focus on developing it. Keep it hidden from others for now. And if you believe any of our soldiers are truly loyal to me, send them to me—not today, but tomorrow."

Rohan nodded without hesitation. "Yes, Your Majesty. I will do as you say."As soon as Rohan left the room, Anthony let out a quiet breath and opened his eyes. A thoughtful expression crossed his face. For the first time in a while, the future didn't seem so bleak. He had options—paths he could take to strengthen his position.

A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips. The thought of watching his loyal followers grow stronger filled him with anticipation. Their strength would become his strength, and with power came the ability to claim more land, take on greater responsibilities, and solidify his rule.
